A week has passed since the Locke incident.

The expected troubles did not materialize.

It seems that Locke has kept the promise between us.

And then I went back to my daily debt.

Some time ago, Hinako and Hoshino helped me pay for various expenses, and I never had a chance to pay them back. No, it's not that there is no opportunity, it's that there is no money.

Originally, they wanted to take on a few missions, but they suspected that Locke would secretly retaliate, so they dragged it on until today. But looking at their appearance, there is no drama today.

I suspect they just want to take advantage of the opportunity to rest for a while, and they are not motivated at all! We are the team that will defeat the Demon King's father in the future, how can we be so depressed!

It's so unpleasant to be confined to a house every day......

"I can't take it anymore!"

In the past, when I was in Japan, at least there were game consoles to accompany me, but now there is nothing......

No, I'm going to go out and find something to do.

While they're still in their rooms, I'll sneak out.

I gently opened the door to my room.

It's good, no one found out.

I managed to sneak out of the house.

In order not to worry them too much, I left a note for them.

"The air outside is so fresh~"

They should really let their group of otaku girls come out and take a look.

Speaking of which, I haven't had a good look around the city yet.

Today, let me take a good look at the scenery of another world.

"I'm sorry."

A girl bumped into me.

I guess I didn't notice that I was in front of her, but I was also responsible for not seeing her.

"It's okay...... I didn't ...... either."

Hey? I think I've seen this girl somewhere......

Suddenly—

Her image overlaps with that of the thief girl that night.

"You were the thief that night?"

"You were the drunkard that night?"

I hurriedly fumbled in my pocket.

Sure enough, my purse was gone!

"Give me my money back!"

"No, I earned it myself."

She also showed off her money bag and shook it in my face.

But the weight of the money bag made her face sink suddenly.

She opened the purse and immediately showed a look of disgust.

"Only a hundred gold coins? Where did you come from? ”

"You care about me!"

I reluctantly snatched the money bag back from her, and she didn't mean to stop me.

Damn, you actually look down on my hundred gold coins!

"Really, I'll go a little farther away when I see you in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"Children are richer than you, you poor bastard!"

"Huh? What's wrong with me being poor? Am I poor and have you been provoked? ”

"Of course, do you know how much time you've wasted on me? Do you know that my daily income is tens of thousands of gold coins, and I will not meet the standard today if you delay me like this...... What are you doing?! Let me go! ”

"Teach me! I want to have a lot of money, too! ”

I hugged her leg and prayed.

Just kidding, if I had learned, what kind of adventurer would I be! If you do this, you'll be a millionaire in no time!

"Let me go! You stinky rascal, let me go! If you don't let go, I'm going to call someone! ”

"Don't let go! Unless you promise to teach me! ”

"Someone! Someone is indecent in broad daylight! Help me! ”

She really shouted loudly.

"If you shout again, I'll sue you for stealing!"

"You!"

Hmph, I have evidence of your theft!

"Well, do you want to consider taking me as an apprentice?"

"You let me go first."

"Okay."

As soon as I let go of the small bit, she was ready to run.

Fortunately, I expected it and immediately hugged her.

"Let go of me!"

"You lied first."

"That's ......"

"Just teach me once, whether I can learn it or not."

"Huh?"

"Anyway, you're going to steal next, just give me a show, and it won't affect you whether I have it or not."

“…… Well, then you have to promise me to stay away and not make trouble. ”

"Don't worry, master!"

"Who is your master? Stay away from me, it's disgusting to get so close! ”

"I'll ask for more advice, master."

"Only once! And don't call me master, it sounds super disgusting! ”

"Yes, master!"

"You guy!"

She had only taken a few steps when she found her next target.

Had to observe two minutes of silence for him.

It's a middle-aged man, and he must be very rich looking at what he's wearing.

"You're standing here, watch. I'm very fast. ”

"yes, I see."

I kept my eyes open and stared at her carefully, not daring to blink for a moment.

As before, she "accidentally" bumped into the man's body. Then, taking advantage of the time to apologize to the man, she quickly reached into the man's pocket to complete the theft.

It's amazing!

"See?"

She boasted in front of me with her heavy purse.

"I can see it clearly, but I don't know if I can do it well......"

"Yes. That's the end of this lesson, goodbye, poor ghost. ”

She really walked away without looking back.

Hey, shouldn't you come and teach me carefully again at this time......

What a ruthless person!

Just as I was about to leave, I saw her walk back again.

Could it be that her kindness has flown in and is ready to teach me again? I'm really impressed!

"Master, you really didn't throw ......"

Wait, she seems to be followed by a lot of people who don't seem good......

The middle-aged man just now was also inside!

"Stop! Grab her for me! ”

"Apprentice, it's time for you to repay your master!"

"I don't know you."

I pretended not to know her and turned my head to the side.

But she just hugged me.

Damn, you want to pull me into the water!

"Hey, that girl is also her accomplice, let's arrest it together!"

"Damn, you actually pulled me up!"

I had to join the queue to escape.

"It's not because I want to perform for you that I'm like this!"

"Eh, blame me? Isn't it to blame you for stealing at will? ”

"If you're a rich man, I'll be up to the mark today, and I won't have to steal his money bag anymore."

"Don't make your theft seem to be justified!"

"Run, they're coming up!"

"Why am I being ripped off, this is a thing!"

The people behind chased after us, and they didn't mean to let us go at all.

"Do you want to give them back the money bag?"

"Do you think they'll let us go if we give them back the money bag?"

The answer is clearly no.

"What then?"
